This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $99/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
